Getir (“bring” in Turkish) is a Turkish start-up founded in 2015. Through its mobile app, it offers an on-demand “ultrafast” delivery service for grocery items, in addition to a courier service for restaurant food deliveries.
The company was founded in 2015 by a team including Nazım Salur, who also founded the Turkish ride-hailing app BiTaksi. Getir has expanded aggressively since then, having doubled its orders in the second half of 2019 to reach almost 1.5 million in December of that year. It generated $120 million from sales in 2019.
It was reported in January 2020 that Sir Michael Moritz of Sequoia Capital had invested $25 million in the company through his personal investment vehicle Crankstart, while another $13 million from undisclosed investors in Turkey and Brazil brought the total figure for the “Series A” investment round to $38 million. Working with Numis Securities, the company has raised $70 million since its foundation.
